Highlights
Pet care experience
I keep tails wagging!
I'm 53 and I have never been without a fur friend. My family lived on 40 acres in my early childhood and we had 4 dogs and two cats-I even had a pet cow who acted like a giant cat. She was my best friend and I’d spend hours in the barn with her. I love caring for and entertaining dogs. I have experience with small dogs along with larger athletic breeds. I had a cockapoo and collie as a child and was responsible for care. When I was 10, my mom surprised me with a gorgeous white cat. We literally grew up together - She stuck with me until I was 31! I currently have two 15 year old cats who still zoom around like kittens. I also network with animal rescuers around the country and have helped in online groups to reunite pets and owners after natural disasters.

Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in your home as I have two senior cats of my own. I can walk your dogs or drop in for cat/dog feedings or some overnights.
Ratings and reviews
Melissa did an amazing job housesitting for our two shepherds. She gave them walks, plenty of love, plenty of playtime, and she even offered to do some light housekeeping prior to the end of her stay. She was professional and was a great communicator throughout the five days. I will definitely have her sit for our dogs again. I had no concerns and thought that our dogs were in good hands.
We couldn’t be happier with the care that Melissa gave our sweet Gigi girl! Thank you for your reliability, kindness, and amazing communication. We highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for an exceptional dog walker and pet sitter! 🐾💕
Melissa is amazing! She loves our dogs like they are her own. She is a great communicator and always so friendly and nice. She sends great and photos. Highly recommend!
Melissa did a great job taking care of both our pups! She was an excellent communicator, kept us updated and made sure both dogs were happy and taken care of. It helps to put our mind at ease having someone take the time to make sure a pet sitting experience goes so well. We will definitely keep her in mind for future needs!
Melissa was amazing with our two dogs starting with her initial meet and greet to her overnight stay. Melissa is a great communicator, kind, polite, friendly and loves animals. She bonded with both of our dogs and treated them like her own which made us feel very comfortable and happy to go away and have fun without worrying about their care. We will definitely be repeat clients.
Melissa was fantastic. She was extremely flexible when scheduling. A great person through and through. Bubby loved her!!
